Considered to be one of the most visited hotels of Singapore the Raffles Hotel is of remarkable elegance coupled with gracious living. The architecture of the hotel takes you back into history with modern amenities built by Stamford Raffles in 1887 and ever since the hotel has seen transformation year after year. The best part of this hotel is the new main building. The rooms in this hotel have high ceilings and exquisite balconies. Even the most economical room here has marble flooring a dining room and remotely operated lights and fans, which is a one of a kind feature compared to any of the hotels in the vicinity.

Over the years every room was converted into a Suite with handmade carpets all over the room coupled with floors made of teak wood. The Raffles hotel is not just a hotel anymore but has become one of the national heritage sights of Singapore.
